Patented Apr. 18, 1933 UNITED STATES AUGUSTUS BURR, OF OAKLYNNE, NEW JERSEY PIPE HOLDER Application filed May 20,

This invention relates to pipe holders, and

in accordance with the present invention a.

pipe holde of neat design and inexpensive construction is provided; the same being also equipped with means as to render it capable of being readily supported from a wall, the instrument board of an automobile, or from any other suitable support.

The invention together with its numerous objects and advantages Will be best understood from a study of the following descrip tion taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein: I

Figure 1 is a front elevational view of the holder, the same being shown applied to a suitable support having a pipe received there- 1n.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the holder, and

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the same on a slightly reduced scale.

Referring more in detail to the drawing it will be seen that the improved pipe holder comprises a substantially rectangular, -rela tively small plate 5 having an arm or stem extension 6 projecting horizontally from a lower corner thereof and preferably formed integral with said plate. At the lower edge thereof the plate 5 is provided with a horizontally disposed forwardly projecting lip 7 forming a pipe seat, and above said seat forming lip 7 the plate is also provided with a substantially hook shaped spring clip 8 secured to the edge of the plate 5 adjacent the upper end of the plate, and being preferably integral with said plate.

The arm or stem extension 6 adjacent its free end has punched therefrom a laterally projecting spring clip 9; while at the junction of the plate 5 and stem 6 there is secured to the holder by a rivet or other suitable fastening element 10 a suitable suction cup 11 disposed to the rear side of the holder as shown.

As shown in the drawing, in actual practice the holder may be applied to a suitable support, a portion of which is shown in the drawing designated by the reference character 12 by pressing the suction cup 11 against the face of the support. The support 12 as 1932. Serial No. 612,595.

before mentioned may be in the nature of a wall or the instrument board of an automobile or any other suitable supporting element. With the suction cup 11 properly applied to the support the holder will be secured thereto in the position suggested in Figure 1 with the plate 5 disposed vertically and the arm 6 disposed horizontally. When properly placed in the holder, the bowl 13 of the pipe will be supported by the lip 7 and retained thereon between plate 5 and the hook 8, the latter embracing the upper portion of the bowl as shown. 1 The stem of the pipe will of course extend substantially parallel to the arm or stem extension6" of the support, and adjacent its free end the stem 13a of the pipe will be yieldably engaged by the clip 9, and consequently the pipe will be I securely retained on the holder against causal displacement, but at the same time permitting removal of the pipe from the holder with ease and without disturbing the position of the holder relative to the support with which it may be associated.

Even though. I have herein shown and described the preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that the same is susceptible of further changes, modifications and improvements coming within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new is:

1. A pipe holder comprising a plate provided on the back side thereof with means for detachably securing it to a support, and on the front side thereof with a seat for the pipe bowl and also with a pair of relatively spaced spring clips one of which is disposed above the bowl seat for resiliently engaging the bowl, and the other of which is removed from said seat and arranged to resiliently engage the stem of the pipe.

2. A- pipe holder comprising a base plate provided on its front side adjacent the lower end thereof with a seat for the pipe bowl, and being also provided above said bowl seat with a spring clip for resiliently engaging the pipe bowl and a suction cup on the back side of said plate.

3. A pipe holder comprising a plate having a narrow elongated stem projecting from one edge thereof and in the plane of the plate, a bowl seat on the front side of the plate, a resilient bowl engaging clip on the plate above said seat, a resilient pipe stem engaging clip on said projecting stem, and means on the rear side of said plate for detachably attaching the holder to a support. I

In testimony whereof I aflix mysignatilre.

AUGUSTUS BURR.
